    Rumi's words speak over 800 years as though he were with you in the room.

    I love her. She could read me an obituary and it would sound wonderful.😂

    Love this. Reminds me of a quote from Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki: "Rather be grateful for the weeds in your mind, for eventually they will enrich your practice."

    I watched Lady Jane only for the first time tonight. I was immediately taken by the reference to Plato at the beginning of the film. I would love to hear her interpretation Plato's Phaedrus, Diotima's speech from the Symposium, anything by Baudelaire, Faun's Head by Rimbaud, The Owl and the Pussycat, and Wild Nights by Dickinson-Emily that is, or any of my poems which are not yet available to the public. It is unfortunate that she does not have an authentic Instagram account. I mean, the Queen has one.

    She reads beautifully... but we didn't need the lute, which was only a distraction. "Less is more."

    External descriptions that reduce the spiritual precise descriptions into an emotion of humility allow for islands of sanity in an otherwise turbulent ocean.
    In my opinion that's why wisdom has already mattered more to me than truth because wisdom reflects adaptations to individual issues that allow for courage and individuality, whereas truth seems to assume all the terrain to be identical and if people only were true then everyone would act normally.
    That's why wisdom is beautiful and empathetic and truth tends to be an ugly and brutal mirroring process.
    I prefer to be wise and let others strain for truth because the truth is foolish.

    Who do you imagine you are talking to with this type of monologue where there are no characters? Same question - for how do you story-tell to an audience? Do you imagine someone you know that you are talking to, for example?
